spell. Mother'll be uneasy if I'm out
late" said Arthur to himself.
Right here, sleep overcame the weary
boy. and he loosed his hold upon the
lines and Snip was free to go as he
pleased. The pony knew the way; and,
though it was pitch dark, he trotted care
fully over the rough way, gently step
ping over the ruts, not spilling onesmall
lump of coal. Some time in the night,
they reached the rude stable of stone,
rooted with poles and thatched with dried
prairie grass. Snip walked in for he
knew he was at home. A gentle rain had
begun to fall; but Arthur slept on, un-
mindful of the wetting he was getting.
The anxious mother went often to the
front door to watch for Arthur, and all
night kept the supper warm for her boy.
But the wind and patter of the rain kept
her from hearing the noise of the wheels.
At the first break of day, she heard the
"whinny" OF Snip, and went to the stable
to find her boy fast asleep and soaked by
the rain.
Snip and Arthur were both ca red for,
and Arthur fortunately was not sick after
his toll and exposure. He is now oneyear
older, and has gained little more
strength to work for mother and the bR.
bies.

WHAT ARTHUR DID.

In the far West, November brought
the first cold winds that blew around the
little one.roomed box house, the home OF
the Myers family, who had taken up a
claim and owned little else save the un-
improved land. The father was dead,
and the burden of keeping up the farm
fell upon twelve-year-old Arthur. He
was stout and brave of heart, and kind
neighbors helped him; yet he got along
slowly. Many comforts were lacking in
that little home.
"Our coal is gone," sighed the mother,
as she tried to fry potatoes and very
scant supply of bacon one cold morning
over not very bright fire.
81 must go to the Nation and dig
some, them" said Arthur decidedly
The Nation" was the coal fields be.
longing to She Cherokee Reservation in
Indian Territory.
"You, Arthur exclaimed his mother
Why, coal. digging is hard work, evenItol
a man, and we have only one pony, and
you know Snip is apt to take resting
spells"
ST know mother; but the only way tc
get coal for you and the children is to &c
and dig it."
SO, soon after breakfast, Arthur har.
messed Snip to the cart, and with pick
and shovel was off to the coal banks
twelve miles away, where coal was cheap
and abundant.
1t was noon when he arrived at the
coal banks; and after eating the lunch his
mother had prepared for him, he COM
menced his work. ALI about him were
stalwart men who were busy digging out
the black diamonds, and the Cherokee
owner of the banks was constantly di-
recting newcomers to a place TO dig.
All the afternoon Arthur toiled, though
his arms ached, and he could scarcely
manage the huge black blocks of coal;
yet he was working for mother, and the
thought gave him fresh courage
Late into the night he worked, until
ONcICOLuo ny WcdIAlCoS no dCCcptOu buc
cup of coffee q friendly digger offered
him and then lay down in his cart to
sleep as best he could for the bowling OF
the wolves that abound in the dense for,
ests of the "Nation."
"The wolves are not pleasant company
yet they cannot harm you, my lad" said
the Cherokee, who thought Arthur might
be timid. ats only the calves and pigs
that the vsrmints attack, unless they are
very hungry"
Before sunset quite a pile of coal lay
beside his cart. After paying the forty
cents for one load, he shoveled his carl
full, harnessed old Snip, and started fol
home. The wind blew steadily, as if 4
storm was brewing. Snip started of al
a brisk trot as if he meant to ego along
all right.

was one hope OF getting help, OF saving
her grandfather
Hastily wrapping the large gray shawl
about her, she crept slowly to the door,
out in the chilly air. Slowly, every
movement with sickening pain, she
crawled over the wet grass.
At last she creeps up on to the big rock
by the roadside. Some water lies in q
hollow of it. She bathes her fainting
temples and waits and prays.
Nearer and nearer comes the bell. Now
the quiet eyes Of old Gem, as she rounds
the turn in the road, look up at her.
"Sukel Gem. Sukel Gem. Good old
Gemr'
Sylvia holds out her empty hand. Why
had she forgotten the csrrot2 What If she
should pass by? No. Gem turns, and,
drawing near, lifts her nose to Sylvia's
palm. Finding it empty she turns away;
but leaping with all her strength, Sylvia
falls upon the back of the kind old brute.
Hardly stopping to look around, old
Gem moves on. Sylvia lays her hand
upon the soft shoulder, her bare arm
around the old cows neck.
Slowly, how slowly the little herd
moves homeward. Here old Gem stops
to bite tender clump of grass. Sylvia
beats with her fists upon the cows side
and she starts on.
So slow She 30 faintl Painting; all is
growing dark; her arms unclasp; she is
falling.
The tramp of running feet stirs her
dulling senses. Dimly, in the darkness,
she sees face; she falls into the strong
arms of Mr.. Marsh. She can only say:
"Grandpa is'-and all is night.
When Sylvia awoke the thin, sweet
face of Mrs. Marsh bent over her. Mem
ory seemed yet unconscious till throb
OF pain quickened it. Then cold pres
sure STILES her heart.
"Ohl Mrs. Marshl Grandpal Is he"
"Safe?' Yes, little one, and asleep now,
in yonder," replied Mrs. Marsh. "Now
take some O. this broth, an keep quiet,
that's dear"
Safe! The ice broke from about her
heart, and it beat warm and full again.
Safe! And she saved him..
I saw Sylvia yesterday, sitting upon
the back porch. Her head rested upon
the high, green back of her grandfather's
chair. She is a grandmother now.
The few fine threads left of her child
hood tresses are as white as her pale
forehead. A thread of it fell over her
eyes yesterday, as we were talking, and
she pulled it vigorously, thinking it q
raveling of her cap.
